A few weeks ago, Charli XCX hosted a birthday party at a bar in Los Angeles. Unless you were literally Billie Eilish or Sabrina Carpenter, you likely witnessed this party via photos taken by Mark "The Cobrasnake" Hunter: flash photos of party people, standing on a booth or

Hello, it's me. I was wondering if after all these years you'd like to read...my blog. Hello to the blog readers and the newsletter subscribers. It seems like a good time to hit you with a Musical Moments Megamix...last time I wrote about enjoying
